It looks like Heikki had an illegitimate son in 1810 with Maria Luoto b.1791 while he was working as a farmhand on the Luoto farm in Pyhäjoki. The 1810 tax records for Pyhäjoki list a farmhand Henrik aged 26 (b.1784) in the Luoto house. Heikki appears to be absent from the Sotkamo records at the same time. The child he fathered is Johan Mariasson Luoto b.12 Oct 1810 in Pyhäjoki who is my 2x great-grandfather. I have good DNA matches with Heikki, his father Heikki and brother Erik in their family trees.
